The White Sox have signed free agent OF Jermaine Dye (above) to a two year, $10.1 million dollar contract. Dye, a career .272 hitter who has hit 20 home runs or more five times, will replace Magglio Ordonez in RF for the Whte Sox.
I’ve been hearing chatter that the Mets might be announcing the signing of free agent 1B Richie Sexson as soon as tomorrow. Of course, I’ve also been hearing the voice of Kelly Ripa telling me to bring a rocket launcher to my local Williams-Sonoma, so perhaps you oughta trust your own better judgement.
Mags, Mags, we hardly knew ye.
